AI Mastery Academy

Privacy Policy

AI Mastery Academy ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you use our platform at masteracademyai.com.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us:

• Account information — name, email address, and authentication credentials when you sign up via Google OAuth or email/password.
• Payment information — processed securely by Stripe. We do not store card numbers or payment details on our servers.
• Course progress — which levels you've completed, XP earned, quiz answers, and notes you create.
• Profile preferences — background, tech stack, and learning goals you provide during onboarding.
• Feedback — optional feedback messages you submit through the in-app feedback widget.

2. How We Use Your Information

• Provide and personalise the course experience
• Process payments and send receipts
• Issue and email your completion certificate
• Save and sync your progress across devices
• Respond to support requests and feedback
• Send important service updates (we do not send marketing emails without consent)

3. Data Storage

Your data is stored in Google Firebase (Firestore) and protected by Google's security infrastructure. Course progress is also cached in your browser's localStorage for offline access.

Payment records are stored by Stripe under their privacy policy and PCI-DSS compliance framework.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Stripe — payment processing (Stripe Privacy Policy)
• Google Firebase — authentication and database (Firebase Privacy Policy)
• Resend — transactional email delivery
• Anthropic Claude API — AI tutoring and assessment grading

We share only the minimum data necessary with each provider to perform their service.

5. Cookies

We use browser localStorage (not traditional cookies) to store your session and preferences. We do not use tracking or advertising cookies.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your account and associated data
• Export your course progress data

To exercise these rights, email us at support@masteracademyai.com.

7. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you request account deletion, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law (e.g., payment records).

8. Security

We use HTTPS encryption for all data in transit and rely on Firebase's security rules for data at rest. Passwords are never stored — authentication is handled entirely by Firebase.

9. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify registered users of significant changes by email. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
